For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.
In a random sample of 60 professional actors, it was found that 36 were extroverts.
(a)
Let p represent the proportion of all actors who are extroverts. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b)
Find a 95% confidence interval for p. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)lower limit
upper limit
Give a brief interpretation of the meaning of the confidence interval you have found.
We are 5% confident that the true proportion of actors who are extroverts falls above this interval.
We are 95% confident that the true proportion of actors who are extroverts falls within this interval.
We are 95% confident that the true proportion of actors who are extroverts falls outside this interval.
We are 5% confident that the true proportion of actors who are extroverts falls within this interval.
(c)
Do you think the conditions n·p > 5 and n·q > 5 are satisfied in this problem? Explain why this would be an important consideration.Yes, the conditions are satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p̂ is approximately normal.
No, the conditions are not satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p̂ is approximately binomial.
No, the conditions are not satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p̂ is approximately normal.
Yes, the conditions are satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p̂ is approximately binomial.

- If we find a 95% confidence interval using a sample, then we can say... 95% of individuals will fall on that interval there is a 5% chance the population proportion is NOT on the interval. 95% of our samples will fall on that interval.

Of the 378 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 45 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 90% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 378 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.arrow_forward

So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds.

To do so, they need to find out the fraction of people who appear on the list that are actually caught. Step 2 of 2 : Suppose a sample of 716 suspected criminals is drawn. Of these people, 286 were captured. Using the data, construct the 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of people who are captured after appearing on the 10 Most Wanted list.
